The Ordinary Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15% Solution

An exceptionally-stable solution of 15% Ethylated Ascorbic Acid, this water-free formula offers a direct-acting approach to achieving a radiant, healthy-looking skin tone. Unlike other Vitamin C derivatives, this ethylated form acts directly like Vitamin C, is closer in molecular weight to actual Vitamin C which allows for faster visible results, and offers a much better stability profile than any known direct-acting form of Vitamin C.

Notes: Since this formulation is a water-free solution, it may feel slightly "oily" for a few seconds after application, despite the absence of all oils.

30ml

Note: Supplied in UV-protective packaging.

THE FORMULA FOCUS INGREDIENTS

ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID

This ingredient is a stabilised form of Vitamin C and is a potent antioxidant, protecting the skin against free radical damage. Ethyl ascorbic acid increases the production of amino acids in the skin, expediting skin cell turnover and boosting collagen production so skin feels smoother and plumper. It disrupts the production of melanin in the skin, thus helping to fade sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
